Laptop can’t see RBR750
One of my laptops doesn’t see the Wi-Fi provided by my Orbi router. Several other devices do see it and are operating fine. I may have disallowed the laptop to connect at one point by toggling it off ...

Hi Plemans:
I updated to 21.10.1 and the laptop still doesnt see the Orbi. When I first got the Orbi a few months ago, I recall seeing a device connected that I didn't recognize and I somehow clicked on it and disallowed it to connect - this was using the Orbi app. Now I think the device I didn't recognize was actually my laptop and I've now managed to stop it from connecting. Does this make any sense to you? If my hunch is correct, how do I go back and reverse that setting? I don't see any sign of it currently on the app. Thanks.
